Police have arrested a 38-year-old Toronto man following an alleged case of road rage involving a car and a bicycle.

According to Toronto Police, on Wednesday morning, a 35-year-old woman was cycling south on Ossington Avenue in the left lane, preparing to turn left onto Harbord Street. A black Hyundai Accent was behind the cyclist, preparing to make the same turn.

The car went into oncoming lanes to pass the woman, police say, and an argument between the driver and the cyclist ensued.

At that point the driver is alleged to have turned his car toward the woman, forcing her onto the sidewalk, before driving onto the sidewalk and striking her with his vehicle.

The driver fled the scene, but surrendered to police Wednesday afternoon.

The cyclist suffered minor injuries in the collision.

Matthew Nettleton is charged with failure to stop after an accident, dangerous operation of a vehicle and assault with a weapon.
